What is Szechuan cuisine?
Szechuan cuisine originates from the Sichuan province in southwest China. The complex flavors and cooking techniques produce seven flavor profiles: sweet; sour; bitter; hot; salty; aromatic and fragrant. The hot spices such as the red chili (different from the Mexican chili) stimulate the palate making it more sensitive to the flavor profiles. The primary ingredient is the Sichuan peppercorn. Other prominent ingredients are garlic, chili peppers, peanuts, sesame paste and ginger.
